Wow, do I have A LOT to say here... Make up is my passion; I take it very seriously! :D Now, I have fairly tan skin, huge brown eyes and dark brown hair..(just so ya know)
****FOR FOUNDATION:
I use Covergirl, and I couldn't be more satisfied with it!! It's great, at a good price, and comes in 3958625869 shades, so you're BOUND to find one to fit your skin tone!!!
Here's a link of my exact product:

Now, that's kind of a bad example as far as the shades go. I use the "Natural Biege", but it's NOWHERE NEAR as dark as it is in the photo.
Here is a better link of the shades it offers:

****EYE SHADOWS:
I always pick my eye shadow according to my outfit. I tend to go with a lot of light purples, mellow yellows, suttle pinks, and *TONS* of white; then I like to apply lots and lots of black eyeliner -- I find that really appreciates brown eyes. Here's a tip: to get your eyeshadow to last alllllllllll day, put some body lotion, or Petroleum Jelly on first, THEN apply the shadow. Also, there's this technique I ALWAYS do, called "Shadowing". It creates this AWESOME smokey affect!! You simply put on the color eye shadow you wish to wear, then using a bristle brush, dab a bit of gray eye shadow over it!! It's gorgeous; I *NEVER* leave the house without it!! And as for what BRAND of eye shadow, I've noticed any is fine, but Maybelline is best! ;D
****FOR MASCARA:
I recommend Maybelline's '3XL' - most amazing mascara I've ever come upon!! It adds GREAT volume, and REALLY lifts to curl! Another good one I use, is Maybelline's 'Sky High Curves'!
****FOR EYELINER:
When it comes to liquid eye liner or pencil eye liner, it's just a personal preference as to which we use. Certain things suit certain people. However, if you ask... chances are that most people will tell you that pencil is a better choice for them. It's a great start for a beginner who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easier to clean up and re-do than liquid is. Also, if you plan on carrying it around in a purse or pocket.. you risk the chance that the liquid may ruin [though I don't suggest carrying eye liner in your pocket]. If you DO mess it up, just take a tissue and slowly run it along the rim of your eye lid.. it'll come right up.
Now, the desired effect of eye liner is to create the illusion of darkness just above the lashline to enhance the look of the lashes. To apply it, gently hold your eye lid down, and start at the inner part of the lid [closest to your nose]. Then just simply draw a thin line smoothly and evenly along the top and bottom lid, getting as close to the lashes as possible. If it looks like there is a space between the liner and your lashes, then I guess you just have to thicken the line a bit. Or, if you'd rather have a very thin line, I guess you just have to try again. One last thing, make shore you draw the line all the way to the outside corner.
If you're still experiencing difficulties, don't get discourage. It will probably take some practice -- it took me a while at first too. Now, I have it down incredibly well!!
And as for products, I think the two best brands of eye liner out there are "Meryl Norman" and "Beautique". "Meryl Norman", which can only be purchased at "The Meryl Norman Cosmetic Studios", is pricey [typically $8.50 - $15.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wonderfully, and stays on all day! On the other hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE!! However, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". Good news though, it's only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy crap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollar price throw you off - you'd be cheating yourself out of the best product out there!! I'd *PREFER* "Beautique" out of ANY other brand of eye liner on the market!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT promote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... for only .99 cents.. it's worth a shot!! [:
As for your other question, I think eye brows like JoJo's would like fine on a more oval face. [:
Anyhow, I'm sorrie for the long reply. I get too into these make up questions, but if you'd like further assistance, don't hesitate to ask! Goodluck! :D

Why not try this summer some, pale summery yellow, oranges, reds, pinks coulred eyeshadow, to look really cool. Get some pink lipgloss for your lips and add some shimmery foundation that you can get from shops like boots. For your eyelashes get the double ended masacra that will make your eyelashes look even longer than they already are and bolder. If your brave enough wax or pluck your eyebrows but dont go overboard. For you hair you could just add some finishing touches like a cool summery bobble or a cute clip. Hope this help. Tell me how this went.

All I can say is don't wear too much make up that will make you look.. you kno .. but neway just experiment with colors for your eyes.. like blue gold or silver even pink .. for your lips .. don;t go too extreme just .. gloss them or get a light pink over them .. eye lashes... lil' mascara not heavy.. just try to experiment.. it helped me

yeah her eyebrows would...maybe you could were blush and mascara and if your hair is like boring 2 you..you could layer it or add highlights
]
Um yea those eyebrows would look okay.. maybe wear a little bit of make up too.. like get a shde darker then your skin complextion in foundation or press powder to put more color to your skin.. keep your hair its color.. i would wear some black eyeliner to bring out your big brown eyes and wear some eye shadow.. dont sound like you need mascara since you have long eyelashes but to make em darker you could wear some.. you could add some highlights if youd like to put more color in your hair.. up too you.. good luck much luv dez x0x0

Why don't you try plucking your eyebrows so that they're less bushy? Try using eye liner on your bottom eyelid and dark brown eyeshadow to really make your eyes stand out. If you do that, just use a clear lipgloss or vaseline. It's best only to concentrate on one feature at a time or otherwise you may end up looking like a clown.
If you don't think your eyes are your best feature but your lips are, concentrate on them with lipstick and lipliner. Then keep your eyes simple.
Good luck hunni. Remember real beauty comes from within.
